Legend

this vicious, egomaniacal man was a member of the Mandalorian Mercs, until he became disgruntled by the fact that Jaster Mereel was elected to lead them. Vizsla and his supporters executed a bloody coup, splitting from the Mandalorians to form the Mandalorian Death Watch. Vizsla then spent much of his life hunting down Mereel and the remaining Mandalorian Mercs. After eliminating most of the Mandalorians on Concord Dawn, Vizsla and his cronies set up a base on Moonus Mandel. He never forgot the Mandalorians, and worked behind the scenes to set up an ambush for them on Korda 6. His plan worked nearly to perfection, as the troops of Jaster Mereel and Jango Fett were decimated in surprise attacks during the era known as the Mandalorian Civil War. Vizsla was able to exact a measure of revenge when he shot and killed Jaster Mereel, who had been abandoned by Montross on the battlefield. Vizsla and the Death Watch then fled Korda 6 to celebrate their victory. He knew, however, that some Mandalorians had survived, and later coerced the planetary governor of Galidraan to help lay a final trap for them. Vizsla convinced the governor to hire the Mandalorians to put down a political insurrection, while calling for the help of the Jedi Knights in eliminating the Mandalorians, whom he claimed were slaughtering political activitists. The Jedi sent a task force to Galidraan, which wiped out the Mandalorians and sent Jango Fett to prison. Years later, Jango found Vizsla and the Death Watch near Corellia, and badly damaged their ship. Vizsla and Fett found themselves locked in mortal combat on the planet's surface, where Vizsla briefly gained the upper hand when he was able to inject a lethal poison into Jango's body. However, Vizsla was unprepared for an pack of dire-cats, which ripped him apart before eating him.
